TOPIC for SAT, 26/03/22: conscience is an open wound

CAC Living Water, March 26, 2022.

Read: Genesis 33:1-9

Genesis 33:1-9 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.

MEMORISE: Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the words oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst (John 8:9)

EXPOSITION
An African proverb translates, “The pounded yam of 20 years can still be as hot in one’s hand as it was 20 years ago.” Guilty conscience is an internal voice that tells what one has done wrong intentionally or accidentally, and this may help him/her to fix his/her mistakes. It is what helps you decide whether you actions or impulses are good or bad. Little do men know when they rob others, that they have actually robbed themselves of their peace of mind, relationship, joy, or any good.

Jacob was happy taking his brother’s birthright and blessings without knowing he would have to crawl before that same brother one day. After 20 years of salvation, he was still afraid his brother would revenge, so he packaged his concubines and their children in front, so that if Esau hit them, no problem! Only let him not tough his darling Rachael and her children. Can we ask Jacob who cunningly took what belonged to his brother why he became the servant?.

Oh! Sin will only succeed in bringing you down, because it is a reproach to anybody (Prov. 14:34). Sin will make you fear and be enslaved until you are bold to make peace with God and humans involved. Jacob tried cleared – guilty conscience (vv. 13,14). Though circumcised in the body, his hearts was filthy. Avoid sin like plague, or else you may not easily forgive yourself later, even when God does. Some of the symptoms of guilty include regret, self-doubt, self-esteem, shame, self-help, etc. Conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal it.

To have a free conscience, let God’s will take its course naturally. Speak and act the truth in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2), for there lies the oil to heal your wounded conscience.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, deliver me from venturing into actions, reactions, and inactions that can be regretted now or later in life.

2. Lord Jesus, wash my conscience clean, by Your precious blood of things that can hinder smooth relationship with You and others.

3. O God, instil in the lives of leaders at various levels/capacities the right conscience to debar them from doing wrong things with impunity.
